Hey,
I actually went with the method suggested by Steffen Kaiser of creating a
separate userdb because I use LDAP and I have an OU which contains all the
public mailboxes and was just easier. I setup the userdb like so:
userdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-shared_mailboxes.conf.ext
driver = ldap
override_fields = mail=maildir:/home/vmail/Public/.%n
}
Now when I send an email to [email protected] I don’t get any errors and it
delivers the message to the [email protected]:
root@mail:~# ls /home/vmail/Public/.office3/new/
1458427035.M781836P21781.mail.xxx.com,S=2571,W=2630
1458427705.M750112P23338.mail.xxx.com,S=2501,W=2559
But from any mail client I try I don’t seem to be able to list anything in the
Public directory.
Am I missing something in the configuration?
Here is the public namespace configuration:
namespace {
list = yes
location = maildir:/home/vmail/Public:INDEXPVT=~/Maildir/Public
prefix = Public/
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = public
}
